Dynatrace Managed hardware for supporting mainframe monitoring

jose_damian_rui — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 09:33:07 GMT

Hello. I realize that there a public page where is detailed cluster sizing for Dynatrace managed hardware according to number of hosts to be monitored.

In the case of a Mainframe (z/OS) monitoring, are there any Dynatrace managed hardware sizing guidelines ?

Many Thanks!

You have to use these guidelines:

Managed hardware requirements

everything depends of number of hosts and the amount of traffic you expect to have. You may as well consider using more than one cluster if you want to have redundance of data.

@jose L. After working with support on this to ensure you get the correct answer to your questions, It would be advised to follow the following guidelines as to how much that node size can compute.

Its better to be bigger then needed rather then smaller as you will see adverse affects. However, keeping this in mind everyone's environment is different and might have added costs from a resources standpoint.
